“We claim democracy – then ask SD if the excuse”
“the Debaters: It is enough now, Sweden’s criticism of Hungary is justified”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“the DEBATE. In the Tuesday visited Hungary’s state secretary for international communication the foreign affairs committee. SD apologised for Sweden’s criticism against the Hungarian government. “
“We, as socialists propose, however, that the EU should only provide financial support to those countries that guarantee democracy, a free press and the rule of law. “
“The Hungarian state secretary Zoltán Kovács, more concise title is prime minister Viktor Orbán’s spokesperson. Before his visit to Sweden, representatives of the government he represents said that Sweden is a shocking example. “
“Kovács himself has said he does not want Hungary to commit the same so-called mistakes as Sweden. This statement came just a few days before he began his study tour to Sweden to learn more about our country. “
“You may still give Kovács praise that he dare to visit Sweden with a view to the distorted image they have of our country. “
“During the Tuesday was the sweden democrats Björn Söder out in the media and apologised for the Swedish politicians stood up for our freedoms and rights and values, such as democracy, free press and the rule of law. “
“SD’s behaviour felt safe both safe and good for Kovács. But we socialists have a different approach. We want the EU’s money shall be conditional upon and financial support should only go to those countries that guarantee democracy, a free press and the rule of law. “
“The spd-led government therefore proposes that EU member states should start its own review of the rule of law. The examination shall consist of a system where the EU member states themselves, systematically and regularly review the state of democracy and the rule of law in all EU member states.”
“When the conservative Fidesz captured the government in Hungary at the 2010 election was a change in the Hungarian society that is both profound and dramatic. “
“the Party took power over the state media, fired critical journalists and the setting up of a media council with wide powers. A new constitution was developed and the constitution was changed.”
“Hungary’s roma are the ones who have become the worst victims of the policies of Fidesz. It has done that widened the gap, the gap between poor and rich has reached dramatic levels and the emergence of a new was society has been able to be done despite membership in the EU, where human freedom and rights are guaranteed. “
“Despite fierce criticism from the EUROPEAN union to continue the development in the wrong direction in Hungary. Right-wing extremists is on the rise, and in the parliament is seated, Jobbik, one of Europe’s most influential fascist parties.”
“Sweden and Hungary, is usually described as two opposing forces within the EU. It is we, and in all honesty, if Hungary had sought membership in the EU today, so it’s not entirely certain that they had become members. “
“In several countries where the högernationalistiska parties come into the office the independence of the judiciary undermined. Therefore, the fight against far-right extremism and protection of democracy the EU the most important issues. “
“No iron curtain separates farther east from west in Europe, and that we should be grateful. But a new frontier is to be erected – where citizenship has a different value. In the west, does it matter how you vote, journalists are free to write and the courts are not filled by politically appointed officials. “
“the thing is also that these countries are the major beneficiaries in the EU. We in the west are funding limitations of democracy in some countries. We need to end up with. Next year’s EU budget needs to make economic aid to countries with these guaranteeing democracy, the free press and the rule of law. “
“Not a penny more to the limitations of democracy. It is enough now. “
